Hey, Cutie at Pilot Gallery

With a nod to the work of Mexican architect, Luis Barragan, three wonderful local artists Ophelia King, Amy Unkovich and Nina Lloyd took over the space of Pilot Gallery with three shades of pink paint (named Tony, Wax Flower and Romantic), a variety of 3D sculptures made up of textured surfaces that look like they’d been borrowed from a kitchen renovation or a slice of lolly cake, and finally, a row of dreamy grey coloured drapes that gently caressed the cool, concrete floor.

Peter Dornauf of #500words reflects; “What the show as a whole presented was a sort of visual surround-sound, an overwhelming sensuous delight that crossed the boundaries between art, architecture and interior decoration. The different pinks had been judiciously applied to various architectural features of the gallery so as to enhance the geometry of the concrete forms which then played off against the geometry of the sculpture. The gallery in turn became a giant sculpture.”

Ophelia King and Karl Bayly share some of their beautiful film snaps of the space.
